A look at the only fight that Islam Makhachev lost
Islam Makhachev, the recently minted UFC lightweight champion, has only ever suffered one MMA defeat. His record in professional mixed martial arts presently reads 23 victories and 1 loss.
Islam lost his only professional fight in his second UFC fight, as he was defeated by Adriano Martins via first-round TKO at UFC 192 in 2015. The lightweight champion discussed the defeat in a recent interview with UFC Russia saying.
“I had my own plans with him. Even though my coaches said to clinch and wrestle with him first [and] then begin to work. I planned to attack the entire 15 minutes… He’s older than me. That also means he’s more experienced and he countered one of my punches… I learned my mistake, I rushed in with the hit. My confidence got in the way in that fight. I thought I’d just keep charging and I’ll be unstoppable, but everything can end with just one punch.”
At UFC 280, the 31-year-old won the vacant lightweight title and brought the title back to Dagestan. With the victory, Makhachev has now won 11 consecutive UFC fights.
